MIR. Gladstone Discusses the Question, and
Sharply Arraigns the Government
LONDON, Oct l8-Mr Gladstone spoke at
Stockport to-day. He said that coercion was
directed. not against crime, but against the
people of Ireland combining to preserve their in
terests If such ombination showed q ten
dency toward crime, the Liberals would not
give it the smallest countsnance
Mr.. Gladstone met with an enthusiastic recep-
tion at Manchester this morning. He also made
a speech at Sheffield to-day. in which he said
that he did not doubt that the mind Of the people
was rapidly marshaling itself In favor of con-
tentiug Ireland, and restoring the freedom and
efficiency of Parliament and the honor of Eng
land. which has been previously tarnished by
past misconduct in Ireland.
Mr.. Gladstones speech at nottingham was
received with unbounded enthusiasm by his
hearers. He was not there, he said to speak of
smooth things to smooth over rough things.
1t was deplorable indeed. that the settlement of
the Irish question, which might have been set
tied last year if there had been any disposition
the part Of it's opponents to discuss it in a
spirit of candor and fairness, was still pending,
and with its difficulties greatly aggravated and
its prospects uncertain. The coercion act was
passed against combinations to preserve the
liberty of the press, and against the right to
hold public meetings. not against crime. The
spectacle presented in Ireland was now grave
and serious. and the present state Of affairs
could not be much longer continued without
driving Ireland into condition in
which the difficulties Of the government
would be insurmountable What he
wanted to SECURE for Ireland was etatutory
Parliament in Dublin, subject to the control OF
the imperial Parliament Nothing he
tended. could prevent reasonable men from
agreeing to the proposals of the Liberal and
Irish parties and reasonable man could
frain from condemning the present course OF the
government
Mr.. Gladstone admitted having used the words
remember Mitchelstown, and that the country
had an account to settle with the government in
connection with that affair. The authorities at
Mitchelstown were undoubtedly in the wrong.
yet Mr.. Balfour assumed the responsibility of
defending their action. Mitchelstown had be-
come model for the whole of Ireland The
whole system of government in Ireland required
to be thoroughly reformed, and only an enfran-
chised nation could accomplish the reformation

Mr.. Gladstone expressed himself as confident
that if general election were to take place now
it would result in the return of Parliament
